The army was stationed in Puyang City.

After resting for two days, Lu Bu met with the wealthy gentry in the city, these big men who are usually arrogant, and at this time they were like obedient babies in front of Lu Bu, respectful.

Lu Bu's methods were mainly to appease.

Of course, it was inevitable that they would be asked to produce some food, but fortunately, these people also knew each other and expressed their willingness to obey Lu Bu's leadership and command in the future.

After dealing with these, Lu Bu summoned Huang Zhong with a smile on his face: "Han Sheng, I heard that you captured the generals of the Yuan army, Lu Yi and Zhang He?" ”

"Back to the lord, this is Zhongda's plan! This kid is not big, and he has a lot of ghost ideas, otherwise how could he capture Puyang so easily and lure Koji Yi to be fooled. ”

Huang Zhong stroked his beard and laughed, explaining the details to Lu Bu.

Knowing that Lu Yi and Zhang He were still locked in the cell, Lu Bu got up and beckoned: "Let's go, let's take a look at these two." ”

Arriving at the prison, follow the stone staircase into the damp damp dungeon.

"Zhang He, do you remember me?" A hearty voice came from outside.

The jailer humbly opened the cell door, and because of his tall figure, the low cell door forced Lu Bu to bend his body slightly and walk in.

Looking at the majestic man in front of him, Zhang He lowered his head in shame: "The general of the defeated army, how dare you bother the general to come in person." ”

Lu Bu smiled and casually found a place to sit down, Zhang He hurriedly stood up, his face embarrassed, and he waited respectfully on the side, looking a little at a loss.

Lu Bu looked at Zhang He, and his words were quite appreciative: "Han Sheng said that you are a loyal and righteous person, and your martial arts are also excellent, and you have repeatedly recommended you in front of this general. General Ben thought about it, it is true, when the tiger prison was closed, you also fought with me, and your strength is indeed good, if you bury it here, it is a pity. ”

mentioned the past, and the shame on Zhang He's face was even worse.

Back then, when the tiger prison was closed, the heroes fought fiercely against Lu Bu.

first had Yan Liangwen and Chou, and then Zhang Fei of Guan Yu, and then Zhang He and Wu Anguo, Xiahou Xuan, and Xiahou Yuan were also on the same page, but the result was still helpless about the man in front of him.

Now that they meet, Zhang He finds that Lu Bu, who was as imposing as a mountain back then, has become more and more calm and unfathomable.

"Well, I have come to ask you personally, will you be obedient?"

Lu Bu shifted the content to the main topic.

"The general is a hero in the world, Zhang He is just a pawn, he should have taken the initiative to serve, but I was promoted by Yuan Jizhou, and he has the grace of knowing me, so please forgive the general."

Zhang He clenched his fists and bowed to Lu Bu and apologized.

Lu Bu said: "Yuan Benchu was gentle and taboo, and he had good generals but could not use them, so he was not the master." Otherwise, why would you still be a lieutenant today? ”

Zhang He was silent.

It would have been nice if it had been the general first.

"You should know that today is the world of the Han Dynasty and the society of the Son of Heaven. If you say the Lord, only the Son of Heaven in the Weiyang Palace is the only master, and you are obedient to me, which can be regarded as true loyalty to the court, so you can think about it! ”

Lu Bu spoke loudly to Zhang He about reasoning, and after finishing speaking, he got up from his seat and left the cell without looking back.

Zhang He bowed to see him off, and when Lu Bu was far away, he returned to the wall, sat on the cold stone floor with his back against the wall, and fell into deep thought.

Leaving Zhang He, Lu Bu came to another place where Lu Yi was held.

Compared with Zhang He, Koji's attitude is obviously much more arrogant.

Even if Lu Bu came in, he didn't get up, let alone take the initiative to salute.

"General Koji, that day I fought Cao Cao in a decisive battle, and you led the army to attack and almost crushed my left defense line. How heroic you were then, how come you ended up like this after only a few months? ”

Lu Bu crossed his arms, and there was an obvious sarcastic tone in his words.

In the face of an arrogant character like Koji Yi, if you want to talk to him in a low voice, it will definitely not work. Therefore, Lu Bu simply did the opposite and took the initiative to provoke him.

"Becoming a king and defeating a king, this time I lost, I can't kill people too much, Lu Bu, you are also a well-known figure in the world, why humiliate me so much!" Koji Yi said with hatred.

"Then will you surrender to me?"

Hearing this, Lu Yi suddenly understood that Lu Bu came this time to recruit himself.

At this time, the anger on his face turned into a smug smile, and Lu Yi thought that he had stepped on Lu Bu's tail, and said with a smile: "I said, as long as Huang Zhong is willing to cut off his arm, I will descend to you." ”

"Huang Zhong has been fighting with me for many years, and there have been countless battles of all sizes, what are you, and you are worthy of it?" Lu Bu snorted with disdain on his face, and ruthlessly trampled on the dignity of Kojiyi.

Koji Yoshiki was stunned.

However, before he could open his mouth to refute, Lu Bu continued: "Do you know how important Huang Zhong is to me? This time I went north, and I am not afraid to tell you the truth, this general just wants to take Jizhou. Huang Zhong assured me that as long as 30,000 soldiers and horses, he could conquer Hebei and capture Yuan Shao alive, do you have the ability? ”

"Do you think this is a difficult thing? But it's a trifle. Give me 30,000 soldiers and horses, and I can do the same, but do you dare to give me soldiers and horses with confidence? Koji said loudly, unwilling to be left behind.

Lu Bu suddenly smiled and said: "Why don't you dare, don't say 30,000, I'll give you 50,000!" Then do you dare to fight Jizhou! ”

Lu Yi was dumbfounded again, and then realized that he had stepped into Lu Bu's trap.

If he doesn't dare, he will be ridiculed by Lu Bu; If you want to say that you dare, a manly man, if you say that it is difficult to chase after the horse, he is really going to fight Jizhou.

But Lu Yi didn't believe that Lu Bu had such courage, so he replied stubbornly: "Why don't you dare!" ”

Unexpectedly, Lu Bu didn't hesitate for a moment, and agreed: "Okay!" I will take you with 50,000 soldiers and horses, and you will be responsible for training and commanding. ”

Koji Yi was stunned again, not knowing whether to say that Lu Bu was confident or that he was conceited. However, this courage is indeed rare in the world.

"Aren't you afraid that when the time comes, I'll take these 50,000 people to fight against the water and give you a counterattack?" Ko Yi looked at Lu Bu, this answer was very important to him.

"I am willing to use 50,000 soldiers and horses to make a bet with God!" Lu Bu's tone was frank, as if he was talking about ordinary trivial things, without pretentious hypocrisy.

Koji Yoshiki was greatly moved, don't look at him scolding people everywhere on weekdays, in fact, he is an extremely upright man in his heart. Without saying much, Koji Yi knelt on one knee and lowered his arrogant head: "The lord is above, Koji Yi is willing to surrender!" ”

Yuan Shao's refusal to give him the soldiers and horses of Wei Jun and Qinghe shows that he has no trust in him, and he is not worthy of Liyi's continued loyalty.

Good birds choose trees to perch, and virtuous ministers choose their masters.

This has been the case since ancient times.

Lu Bu stepped forward to help Lu Yi, his face was full of joy and pleasure, and he laughed heartily: "I have to step down, Hebei can be determined!" ”

Hearing this, Lu Yi became more and more moved, and at the same time made a request to Lu Bu: "The last general asks for the permission of the lord, and Zhang He will continue to serve as the deputy general." ”
